April and Chris
April is the tom boy and athletic one in our family...that's how I see her anyway! Even though she is the oldest...she's the shortest!! But don't let that fool you because I have seen her wrestle her dog to the ground, the girl has moves! I guess we could ask Chris's opinion but I don't know him well enough to embarrass him ;) She also has the coolest birthday...7-7-77! (I'll do the math for you...she's 29) She hasn't won the lottery yet but maybe someday soon! She and I have also both been dabbling more into a interest of ours...photography. She enjoys taking photos of scenery and I always look forward to seeing her pics. She uses the name Quad 7 Photography, from her birthday. Since I don't have a cool birthday like hers...I'm still nameless haha.
When Devin and I went to Kansas this Christmas, we stayed with Chis and April. She had to work so we didn't get to spend a lot of time together but the time we did have was nice! On our last evening there, we decided to go out to the park and get some pictures. Well...the park was more like a swap from all the rain and it was cold! The sun was also quickly setting...so we didn't have a lot of time. Next time I go up there my goal is to have an all family day so we can all get pictures!! Well...I guess we will get some in June at my wedding haha. Anyway, it's getting late and I'm rambling...so enjoy the pictures!!
*Yay for real smiles!*

We are fam-il-y
When Devin and I were in Kansas we were finally able to meet up with my half brother Tony. It has been a long time coming! I haven't seen him since I was around 3 or 4!! He is the oldest child on my Dad's side followed by me and then four years later along came Markie Poo (Or Mark as he likes to be called). haha Not only did I get to meet my brother...I also met my sister-in-law, niece, and nephew! I can't believe how big the kiddos are and I'm glad to finally be a part of their lives! Kyana, my niece, was quiet most of the time. I'm told she wasn't feeling good so maybe the next time I see her we can talk more! She just got a cell phone so she played with it most of the night. Antonio was shy at first and then he found the X-Box. He was entertained the rest of the evening!
*Mom jumped in for a quick pic. She raised Tony for a few years*

Meet and smell....uh...I mean greet
When Devin and I were planning our trip to Kansas we pondered what to do with our "kiddos". Sure, there was the option of leaving them at the vet. Which is what we used to do...until I decided that was a waste of money. They charge us full price for both ferrets despite the fact that I bring my own cage, food, and litter. The last time we boarded them, I decided to let them use their own supplies since I was obviously paying for it. When I returned the ferrets had been fed cat food and had cat litter in their box. Big NO NO. My attempts to get some kind of discount for long stays or some kind of percentage off after so many stays was denied. So...long story kinda short...that wasn't an option. Our other option is obviously friends/family. Since most people don't have any experience with ferrets and don't have ferret friendly homes, I hate to bug them about it. If something happened to them I know they would feel bad which in turn would make me feel bad and so I don't like that. Devin's Aunt Kellie has watched them a lot for us..er well actually Dakota is supposed to but you know how it goes with teenagers ;) Anyway, they are my favorite babysitters but I didn't want to bug them on a long trip and I don't want to over ask either ! So...it was settled...they would come with us! My family had been wanting to meet them anyway! Okay...so after that long run on sentence/paragraph (it'slate) here's some fun pictures documenting the occasion. Enjoy!
*Here's how they treat each other ;) I wish I had been zoomed out more but it's still funny!*
*My Mom will have to be happy with furry grand kids for now!*
XOXO,

Merry Christmas #4...I think haha
Okay so when you have family all over you get a lot of Christmases! This one is the one I label "Gibson Christmas" which is in Olathe, KS and it consisted of my Mom, Step Dad, Half Sister, Brother in Law, Brother, Oreo, Devin, and myself. My Aunt and cousins stopped by for a little bit but I didn't have my camera ready then...I was munching on Mom's good cooking! I actually didn't get many pictures from that night so later Devin and I stopped back by for the posey formal holiday pics. I'll post those later though!
Well I gotta get to bed. I have a long day tomorrow! I have 10 patients spread out from Mangum, Reed (where the heck is that?!), Granite, Hobart, and Altus!! Which reminds me that I haven't blogged about my new job! Maybe I'll get to it after I catch up from my trip to Kansas!
Hope you all had a safe New Years and weren't hung over too bad ;) I stayed up late playing Lego Indiana Jones with Devin haha What a nerd huh?!
xoxo,
Brandi
